Update available tomorrow afternoon??

So...I know I shouldn't believe Verizon reps when it comes down to this ...but I just got off the phone with tech support manager from Verizon trying to get a different phone for my bionic due to data issues. She told if I can hang in there for a day bc new update coming out tomorrow afternoon . I asked her I then can get into a different if it isn't and she me options of any lte device out there or 3g except phone. She told I could then switch to one if update doesn't drop.
I know our community has been given a run around when it comes to updates. Just a fyi that is all.
Oh and it is not ICS its just a update fix for transition 4g-3g and 3g-4g and other "known" problems

I love the first sentence of this post, lol.
Whatever may be, I hope the update comes. We'll see.
If it doesn't come, at least you can get a nexus

looks that way

Since it will be there official update, wonder if anything has been tweaked, changed, etc, from the leaked version that some of us have...

refresh my memory... which update broke webtop?

Does anyone know whether or not forever root will still be valid for this OTA (5.5.893)? I remember p3droid saying do not take any further moto updates as the exploits have been patched...but...

I had data drops 27 times today. I counted and kept track.
This update is long overdue.

I'm with you on that, I go most of the day without data. I have to wait till I get home to use wifi, in lucky if my feeds update. hopefully this will correct the reboots as well.

I have been on 5.6 then 5.7.893, never did the first 5.5.893 but my data drop is definitely alot less often. Maybe only 1x or 2x a week. Its been solid for the last week. Usually when the drop occurs and needs a reboot or airplane mode cycle is when it wakes from sleep.

If my memory serves me correct it was 5.5. 893. They may have made some tweeks though. Someone on the forum in a previous post got the OTA a few days ago and it was 5.5.

According to Verizon's lastest list of fixes for the new OTA, is suppose to fix the dreaded BSOD.
I have the leaked version and I still get BSOD. and yes, pocket protection is off.

VZW Halts OTA

I just got off the phone with VZW. Apparently, they've stopped rolling out the OTA because of "software issues," though he didn't specify beyond that. So, for all of you who have been waiting for the OTA over the past few days, off the top of his head, the tech guesstimated it'll be around a month before they begin rolling it out again. Lame.
Edit: You can still install the .217 leak...but if the update has been pulled for software issues, that obviously means .217 is no longer the official OTA.

What? thats BS! even though im on Eclipse ICS 1.2, its still BS for anyone still on GB!

Yeah, I've been mashing the "systems update" option habitually now for a couple days, but also avoided just manually updating to the .217 leak for this very reason. Either way, it is kind of disappointing.

honestly, if I were you, I would jump on either the 217 leak, or if you want a custom rom that's slightly themed and has extra features/no bloat, go with Eclipse

It wasn't supposed to be released for the general OTA, they did that on accident, only people who were signed up for the motorola feedback network test were supposed to get it, but for some reason they pushed it to all devices. It should be officially pushed in a week or so, because it appears the soak test isn't showing up any major issues.

EDIT: Did NOT work
I called VZW tech support earlier today because it was not working and they did not mention anything about it being halted, but it probably depends on which tech you speak with.
I am not sure if this works or not but the guy I spoke with did tell me that performing a factory reset can sometimes trigger the upgrade. I don't have anything on there that I can't live without or easily re-install so I am going to go ahead and give it a shot.

As mentioned above, there was no planned general release yet. Moto did a release for "a few thousand" phones, of which only a small portion are official MFN soak testers. The test will end soon, and it looks like no show-stopper issues have been found, so, if things go as usual, the general release will roll out, probably in groups, over the next several days.
Sounds like the OP spoke to someone in VZ who really didn't know why the release wasn't available and made something up. (And I bet you never thought a VzW rep would do that!)

Keep in mind, even if they had decided to halt it due to a showstopper bug, they've already released it to several thousand owners. Which means they're obligated to provide anyone on .217 with a way to get back onto the upgrade path, if they decide to release a newer update down the road.
All in all - if you're impatient, just install the current .217 files - you'll still be able to upgrade again later if you need to.
Btw: I'm on it now, and I ABSOLUTELY HATE the Dialer and Contacts being split apart into totally separate apps. I always hit the Dialer icon first, and then if I can't remember a person's phone number, I now have to back out of it and look up the contact first. Whereas on GB I just had to select the Contacts tab and go on. So from a human interface perspective, this new design sucks.

When your in at the dialer screen just push menu then search it goes to your contact list. So its a matter of hitting 2 buttons but you can get to it from dialer. I also miss the other way but im getting used to this and it doesnt bother me anymore

It's happened to me twice now in the last two days that I was unable to hear the people calling me. Switching to speaker mode or rebooting the phone fixed this. Actually only rebooting. Alternating between speaker and normal mode is just a temporary fix as long as I'm in speaker mode. Plug in the headset and it works. Take it out en again no sound... I think it happens after I use BT.

Maybe people who are on this update officially could raise a bit of fuss about this and ask to be put back onto Gingerbread?
As we all know this currently can't be done due to the highly restrictive bootloader, perhaps we could wangle a better bootloader out of this?

Well, we can certainly dream, but given a choice between unlocking the bootloader and shrugging apologetically and insisting nothing can be done, I'm dead sure Verizon will require Motorola to do the latter. :crying:

Seems like more people are getting it now. I just got too antsy and went ahead and installed the .217 leak floating around, I bet if I had waited another day I could have gotten the OTA. Hopefully I did not ruin my ability to get future OTA updates.

You didn't. .217 is .217 no matter how you got it. Anyone on the "leaked" .217 is on the official update path as that is what was pushed as OTA.

The soak test is over and "the software is officially released and will be rolling out in stages"....

AT&T Galaxy S6 OTA upgrade 3/3/2016

Anyone else receive this OTA this morning? I didn't see, or look for, a detailed change log before proceeding with the OTA push. Phone rebooted and is optimizing apps right now. I'll provide further details once it finishes.
I know, for sure, that I checked for new software within the past week or so and there was nothing available. I've been up to date with OTA upgrades since getting this phone on day one of its release.
Anyone know anything about this upgrade?

Model number: SAMSUNG-SM-G920A
Android version: 5.1.1
Android security patch level: 2016-02-01
Baseband version: G920AUCU3B0J9
Kernel version: 3.10.61-5927475
Build number: LMY47X.G920AUCU3B0J9
Security Enhancements for Android: SEPF_SAMSUNG-SM-G920A_5.1.1_0039

-_- security patch, not marshmallow
Edit: ATT site says device security and performance updates

Bastards

thanks for the heads up. Downloading now.

I installed it and really don't notice much of a difference. I guess this means no M for another 2 months at this point.

Probably just updating security mostly since we were a few months behind. Could also be preparing our phones to take take 6.0 update since there's usually a small update before a big one. Wouldn't hold my breath on it though

Well we skipped a few months too so I'm not sure that counts

Don't try to apply this update if you've applied one of the leaked insecure boot images (for getting a root prompt). There's a check of the boot image built into the updater and if you attempt installation it will wipe your phone back to stock.
D**k move Samsung, d***k move.

I was a fool to initially think that the update juuuuuust might be Marshmallow. And then I thought, "I have AT&T. They would've made the announcement before just releasing the OTA. Hell, they would've made a big deal out of it, even; as if they're doing us a favor. " And so, I took a Valium and went to sleep.

This update seems to break mms for many of the users myself included verified with AT&T that is indeed related to it Samsung is on process of updating. Anyway if you happen to get it just boot your phone to safe mode and then use mms there and restart back to normal, it works after . And hopefully marshmallow will be soon

I'm still getting MMS texts, what was broken?

So far I've noticed my battery life is better than it was before, on the OJ7 update i had a very odd drain as well as issues with my bluetooth and wifi that were only fixed with a reboot......so far knock on wood they seem to be resolved but it should take a few more days to fully confirm. I did also try Enhanced LTE again and just as before I had a nice drain on my battery so they still don't have that working great yet (my area has weak LTE and switches between LTE and 4G on a normal basis).

H87210h ota fail!

Today I decided to snoop around and flex my knowledge on these companies. I spoke with several TMobile representatives and LG representatives. It was like pulling Alligator teeth, but I finally got the answer I wanted.
"The G6 H87210h update was pulled from OTA due to complications."
What complications?
"In some cases, the update would download and install incorrectly and cause handsets to cease functioning properly."
Basically the OTA was killing phones and bootlooping....
"LG advises users to patiently wait for the next OTA to be pushed. If users cannot wait patiently for the next update they are welcomed and encouraged to use LG Bridge to update their H872 devices to H87210h firmware."
This took me more than 4hrs to get from my personal interrogation from both TMobile and LG.
Also, I have a pretty good assumption that a soon coming update for our device (h872) will be 7.1.1, could be wrong but I'm almost positive.

I tried the lg bridge and it says it couldn't detect my software version

I updated mine using LG bridge 3 days ago. Be warned it took over 2 hours to complete.

Is there something special you have to do because every time i try it says can't find what software i have

Its a serious pain in the arse for sure!
But I'm just waiting for the next update. LG said before launch that the G6 would get 7.1.x and now the Q6 is launching with 7.1.1, so it seems like they may actually give us a better update. Who knows when though?
I'm also hoping my G4 sees Nougat soon as well like they promised. .
I really just want newer security updates since my G6 has March security patch and my G4 (in stock form) has April patch. But I'm running LineageOS on the G4 so it has July Security patch and 7.1.2.
I really just want TWRP & Root for the G6 so I can debloat and enjoy my phone more with ad blocking and little mods like better Bootanimation and various tweaks, maybe a new kernel.. LOL

Cant tell yet after i get 24 hours i will let you know

Hey all, I'm interested in getting a T-Mobile branded G6 but curious what security update it's on? Also, on 7.1? I had an unlocked one from Amazon and it was stuck on March security update. And that was at the end of June! Hoping the carrier models are doing a little better. Thanks in advance

What is new in this update? I keep seeing all this stuff about everyone trying to update and I just want to know if it's really worth my time.

Standby battery life seems slightly improved. Other than that, April 1st security patch is the only other difference that I can tell.

Verizon Update

Has anyone actually received the Verizon Pie update? When I check for updates through OTA and the Software Update Tool, it still says that the May 1st update is the current one.

I'm on Verizon as well and haven't received the update OTA nor through the update tool. Verizon's changelog says it was released on the 27th, hopefully by Monday they actually push it out.

Nope. Been obsessively checking since Friday and tried the thing to clear data on Google Services Framework and force the download, but that didn't help either.

It appears Verizon has now removed any reference to the update on their Z2 update page.

Crap, you're right. I wonder how long we'll be waiting

Would someone with the OTA be able to copy the below link and type in their serial number at the end? It is an OTA capture tool and the last bit is for the serial number if this is a serial staged roll out. Without the serial, Motorola's OTA server is sending a denial. If it does work, can you download the OTA file and share it?

Were the failed phones tmobile or sprint variants though?
The sprint variant is way closer to the verizon than the tmobile one, hardware wise. I can run stock Verizon Oreo on my sprint for example, and even enable stuff like wifi calling on native verizon.

That is very much an interesting development. I converted my Sprint Z2 to a Verizon Z2 and saw on the discord that a few people were having issues with bricks, I just assumed the update itself was killing the phones. It's quite possible that there is something that is killing these phones. Some sort of check to verify the integrity of the phones or something. Though it's quite annoying that my phone is continuously trying to update itself despite the fact it can't take the pie update.

That is indeed the case, I am running the Sprint Z2 Force with Verizon Firmware and it's working fine, even WiFi Calling and VoLTE. The issue now is that Pie is trying to download itself. I would like to try to update the phone and report back if it decided to kill itself but I can't capture the OTA.
